in thread Daemon crashes the system

jjimmy, how is it failing?

Is there an error in my code, or is your program still failing to fork in the same way it was before?

If it's still failing to fork, it's possible that there are too many php processes still running at one time...

Do you know how how many php processes are started before fork fails? Do all of those php processes finish running, or are some of them or all of them still running when the daemon program dies?

    maybe not enough, only 3. if I add: $ SIG {CHLD} = 'IGNORE'; in each sub?
      I don't think I can help you any more than this - there's too much I don't know about your system.

      Have you tried using system monitoring tools to look at the machine and see what's going on? Are there a lot of php or perl processes still running? Is there one process (or one KIND of process) that's using too many resources?

      Late edit: You asked "if I add: $ SIG {CHLD} = 'IGNORE'; in each sub?" - that doesn't matter, the $SIG{CHLD} setting is global - it affects the whole program. As long as you do it before the first "fork", it's fine.
